with your patch i get the following output:

the the remaining issues imho are:

1) ada* and cd* are SATA/ATA devices. so i think they should show up together
   either under ide *or* scsi. i don't have any *real* scsi devices.
2) the pass* devices still don't show up under ide/scsi/other. that's ok, but
   then the src comments and manual pages need to be changed accordingly.
3) md0 should show up under iostat -t other

cheers.
